A Sign Of Life

let you sweetness land on me
and let it find a place
let your madness melt on me
and let it find the shape to be
windows closing
signs of life
the way things just go by
and you some way to go
to be the one you claim to be
let your knowledge sway with me
and let me sink into it
let your darkness come to me
and let me get used to it
and let it stay

Losing Time
03:00

sat in the simple wild
moments still undescribed
been set in my ways for so long
you must have seen it all along
how you would twist my words around
and how you’d make me feel
I lost my mind
I’m losing time
time to dream about it
time to put it all behind
lose one find another
lose another
find noone
how you would twist my words around
and how you’d make me feel
I lost my mind
thought I could reach you
I bought the house to be near you
could have just told you how I felt
been set in my ways for so long
you must have seen it all along

watch the sinking lie
watch another try
my kingdom for
some peace of mind
such a thrilling time
to be undefined
and you are truly divine
if I could love you in my dreams
I would follow the stream
same dream again
same tiny grain
and growing stain
you said prepare in time
for an empty mind
well I just want to go
on and on an on and on
if I could love you in my dreams
I would follow the stream
set me free again
we could start all over

Many Short Breaths
02:57

some things are better left unspoken
but now it is too late
You have to look behind your habit
to see what you can do
forever started with a sentence
played over and over again
when did we lose something to aim for
something to keep us right?
I never took the time to look around
I was never there
I never understood what it could be
I would always search for something somewhere else
Same time tomorrow
I will miss you
I miss you when you’re here
Extend your shoulder to a whisper
for I am here to stay

Borders

I guess I will save it for last
Stuck in a feeling
there lingers the past
Disturbing my circles it’s fine
the blood jet is music
every time
Stretching my neck
to see above the family tree
to reach for the life in me
I feel like Garincha free as can be
but I’ve got Luther in me
breaking the silence I’m tired
no need to worry
I’m on your side
out in the open
you’ll see
sharing the moment with
noone but me
turning my head to see
the flight of the tiny bee
to reach for the light in me
I feel like Garincha
wish I was Holmes
but I’ve got Watson in me
I don’t need any borders
it’s enough with my own

The Fire
04:09
|

if I could read your mind
I think I’d find traces of a time that I’ve left behind
I remember shadows and sounds so loud
this feeling at night I could not describe
Put it on the fire
and watch it all disintegrate
a way to understand our fear
hiding our desire
hiding our real selves
hiding all that we can hide
let’s find someone
let’s find someone to lead the way
all i wanted was to make you proud
i wished that i could stand out of a crowd
facing every day with a frown
the smallest thing would be bringing me down
It makes you a liar
You tell me what i want to hear
and I don’t really need that near
preaching to the choir
I think you know what it’s about
I’ll make sure there is no doubt
such a relief
I‘m leaving it tonight for good
I’m gonna leave it
leaving it tonight for good
It’s my lifeblood

Free At Last
04:47

I remember speaking through your window
you said that you were carrying a lot of dreams
later that spring you lost your father
and later that year you lost your health
You found a dream
to shake and shiver
You’re fifteen
too close to the river
can’t you see me waving goodbye?
I bet you could be friends with her forever
I bet you could be famous
for you feathers
I remember singing tunes together
and I remember lifting up
your sleepy head
You found a dream
to shake and shiver
You’re fifteen
too close to the river
can’t you see me waving goodbye?
You set the scene
for love and tension
awake and clean
from all the attention
can’t you see me waving goodbye?

Into The Night

Love has a way
It’s brilliant and it’s here today
but it breaks you open
it breaks you open
into the night
If you get to heaven
I’ll be happy
to go the other way
we hum in silence
but we hum together
into the night
You woke up grumpy
all wrecked from dreams of violence
You woke up early
to the stinging smell of silence
is it really over?
is it really over?

It Took A While
02:24
|
|||

if I could have some peace
I could make something big
If I was someone else
well perhaps then too
It took a while to figure out
that I don’t know
it took some time to understand
what I can do
4 am last time I looked
you win again
I focus more on what you said
for each new day
It took a while to hear the
little one within
it took some time to understand
where to begin

If It's Not Too Soon
03:33

If it’s not too soon
I’ll call you as soon as I get back home
If it’s not too soon
I’ll love you all the way back tonight
You would swing me round and round
and talk about some things you loved
you would keep the blues at bay
and act like it would always be this way
If you want to know
I never thought that this day would come
If you want to know
I miss you so I’m paralysed I’m dumb
You would swing me round and round
and talk about some things you loved
you would keep the blues at bay
or act like it would go away
I don’t think I will understand
the meaning of the words you left
but I can always sing them
to remind me of the times we had
if it’s not too soon

you’re treating your life like it was never ending
and making it work
like lovers pretending
with stars all around
and tears in the ground
now forget what I told you
and don’t make a sound
Winter was coming in colour and mood
I ran into your brother just up the road
said 'give her my compliments
give her my love'
I adjusted the ending
and stayed with that feeling
Make up a dream for the little
make up the rest of your life
you packed you belongings and longings
and you flew right into my heart
they found you tonight where the water is shallow
you legs were all pale
and your breathing was slow
so they turned you around
your skinny arms resting
it’s sick and it’s wrong
what they are suggesting
you celebrate morning
like you don’t know the difference
the table’s a stage
your breakfast your audience
the music is magic
your phrasing so elegant
intentions are pure
and your friends are intelligent
Make up a dream for the little
make up the rest of your life
you packed you belongings and longings
and you flew right into my heart
carry the weight of the bitter
carry the rest of their lives
you left me a dream to remember
when you flew right into my heart

For Every Day
05:08

the ones you sang to me
will always stay
the ones your share with me
will never fade
How is possible
to live this way?
the way I love you more
for every day
the wilderness in you
will make it through
the way you celebrate
each morning too
it is a mystery
but I must say
I love you more
for every day
the way you wait for me
the way you don’t
it used to worry me
and now it won’t
it is so natural
I’m swept away
our love will always
lead the way
